Op Infinite FReep: Fresno/Central Valley Tailgate Party and Rally (thread III)

Fresno/Central Valley Chapter ^ | 06/18/02 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

For a really "grate" time, join us for our big Friday night Support our Troops Rally followed by a Saturday Tailgate Party and pot-luck barbeque at Woodward Park in Fresno on July 12th and 13th. We're hoping that as many of our California FReepers as possible can join us and perhaps some from further away. Come to California, the land of milk & honey and fruits & nuts, rally, and party with us, then stay a few days to visit Yosemite or Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. Bring the whole family.

We have reserved tables at the Sunset View Picnic Shelter (see arrow on map below) from 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. We will begin arriving at around 2:00 p.m. The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive off Freeway 41 at Friant Road.

The park road is one way so after paying the $2.00 entry fee, follow the road all the way around the park until you see "Sunset View Picnic Shelter." We will have a "Free Republic Tailgate Rally" sign at the entrance to our site.

1. Anyone who will need a room and wants us to check on a block of rooms, please notify JustAmy.

2. Mama_Bear is maintaining the guest list. Please let her know how many will be attending with you.

3. Cool Guy is planning activities for Saturday. Also he will be taking a survey to see who is interested in a Sunday trip to Yosemite.

4. JustAmy will be coordinating the menu. Fresno Chapter will supply the main dish, the drinks (sorry no alcohol) and the paper products. Anyone wishing to chip in to help cover the costs, FReepmail JustAmy. Local area FReepers can bring salads, side dishes, etc., if you wish. JKPhoto volunteered to be the barbequer-in-chief (he was too slow to take a step backwards).

5. Dress will be summer (hot!) casual.

6. Ping your friends and lets have a party!

7. Anything we have forgotten, please contact us.

8. Since we will not be able to get our tables until 3:00, Cool Guy suggests a change of clothes (he is planning water games!)

Please RSVP by FReepmail to JustAmy, Mama_Bear, or CoolGuy

Hope to see you there!

Thank you,

Jim Robinson

[Mama_Bear]

Did you ping CA Libertarian? LOL

He and his family were here on the 8th and I mentioned it to them. Never did get an answer. I will e-mail and find out tomorrow. He rarely logs on to FR, so he doesn't get his pings.

[Mama_Bear]

Ping and a Bump!

PING and a BUMP and a GRIND! LOL!

[dittomom]

Dang! Wish I could be there, but we'll be in Texas that weekend. Have a great time!

[JustAmy]

Where are you? Can't you hear us calling you? We have not heard from you regarding the Rally/Tailgate. Don't forget the family is invited!

[JustAmy]

Any news on the house yet? Hope to see you in Fresno.

[Mama_Bear]

Amy, I just love that "peacenik zapper". That is too funny. LOL!

I am posting the list of all of those who have rsvp'd up to this point.

Does this look like a fun group, or what? LOL!

Amy, you need Saundra's bullhorn, I think. LOL!

BUMP!!!

[ladyinred]

Is it true you might come to the Fresno rally? If so, and you need a place to lay your head, freepmail me!

[COB1]

I'm going to line up my airline schedule Thursday.
I plan to be in Fresno on the 12th.
I'll freep you when I get it firmed up.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to impose on anyone.
I'll freep you.

[JustAmy]

"Amy, I just love that "peacenik zapper". That is too funny."

I think St.Louie1 outdid himself on that one. Now guess who I'm gonna call when I need a new gif? I'm going to have fun with it on our Rally threads. LOL

[JustAmy]

It will be great to meet you!! See you in July.

[Mama_Bear]

Can you join us for our rally and tailgate barbecue? I know you so badly wanted to come to the Brunch and couldn't make it. Maybe you can come this time? :-)

[JustAmy]

It's time say goodnight, but I will be back tomorrow all ...
